This game, the mirrored teams passing it sideways, the fans who don't care, and the stadium it is being played in is all just so fecking sterile.

It's a pretty good showcase of a lot of what people complain about with modern football.
Two managers playing a system rather than pragmaticism.

Aye, enough of this shit sport that's awash with oil money and always won in a procession by the team that are best at cooking the books... let's watch the F1 instead.

This is the modern version of two teams parking the bus. I understand it from City's perspective, but this has been poor from Arsenal.

I don’t even know which fanbase was singing there cause they just nicked the Liverpool chant which they themselves nicked.

Both teams have been very compact. Wish we could defend aswell as both of these

Arsenal really needed to go for this one, I don’t think a draw does much for their slim title hopes.
A draw is better for them than it is for city. Arsenal just have to make sure they beat the other teams. City have dropped points to wolves already this season.
